Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has doubled down on the country's commitment to maintaining its 'peaceful' nuclear technology, declaring it non-negotiable despite escalating friction with the U.S. 🇮🇷⚛️ The remarks, reported by Tasnim news agency, come as Washington increases military activity in West Asia and both sides engage in indirect talks mediated by Oman.
🔍 Pezeshkian emphasized Iran's readiness to prove its nuclear program is solely for civilian purposes—like healthcare and agriculture—citing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's religious decree against nuclear weapons. But he drew a red line: 'We won't let others block our access to nuclear science for progress,' he told civil activists this week.
💥 The stakes are high: A second round of U.S.-Iran talks wrapped up in Geneva on February 18, following initial discussions in Muscat earlier this month. With Oman's foreign minister bridging the gap, analysts wonder if diplomacy can cool tensions—or if military posturing will dominate 2026's geopolitical chessboard.
